Internet Addiction in Adolescents: A Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy Perspective
AbstractInternet addiction has gained increased scientific attention during the last decades. However, theoretical models explaining mechanisms underlying Internet addiction are scarce, impeding further development of prevention and treatment approaches. In the present study, we applied the principles of Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (RE&CBT) to gain insight into relevant predictors of Internet addiction. We hypothesized that irrational beliefs are positively, and rational beliefs negatively related to Internet addiction, and that these relationships are mediated by psychopathological tendencies. A sa...

Irrational Beliefs as a Cognitive Mechanism Explaining the Link Between Pathogen Prevalence and Individualism-Collectivism
AbstractPrevious studies established a relationship between the historical prevalence of pathogens and the individualism-collectivism cultural dimension. In this article, we argue that this relation can be mediated by distorted information processes derived from the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) model (i.e., irrational beliefs in the form of rigid/absolutistic/inflexible thinking). We hypothesize that populations living in dangerous environments, expressed through the historical prevalence of pathogens, have developed a psychological tendency towards rigid information processing strategies, which have in turn co...

The Interaction Between Self-Regulation Deficits and Negative Problem Orientation Exacerbates Depressive, but not ADHD Symptoms
This study is the first to examine the potential interactive influence of these constructs on two differing forms of psychopathology: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depressive symptoms. Undergraduate students aged 18 –24 completed the Self-Regulation Questionnaire, Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Revised, and Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. As expected, SR and NPO were found to be inversely related to each other and independently predictive of ADHD and depressive symptoms. Interestingly, their interaction differentially impacted the two assess...
